I have some problems with two collaboration albums.
First album:
"Loveland" by Jai Uttal & Ben Leinbach
Second album:
"Music for yoga and other Joys" by Jai Uttal and Ben Leinbach
The collaboration are between the same artists, but in the first release they use "&" and in the second one "and".
I would like my library to show two artists (Jai Uttal, Ben Leinbach) with two albums each.
With Musicbrainz Picard I use the albumartists script (as suggested here) and my advancedsettings.xml is edited to use " & " as artist separator.
When I try to tag the albums with Musicbrainz Picard I encounter several problems:
- In the Musicbrainz database the first album is correctly tagged under release information with two artists and " & " as joining phrase. The second one as incorrect tagging, with only one artist (Jai Uttal and Ben Leinbach) without any joining phrase.
- For the first album I cannot use the albumartists tag, even after running the script. I can see the tag for the second one.
- I tried to manually tag the albums in many ways. I also tried to use identical tags (with the exception of the albumartists tag that I can't get to show) between the two albums, like this
- Artist: Jai Uttal & Ben Leinbach
- Album Artist: Jai Uttal & Ben Leinbach
- Album Artist Sort Order: Uttal, Jai & Leinbach, Ben
- Artists Sort Order: Uttal, Jai & Leinbach, Ben
- Artists: Jai Uttal; Ben Leinbach
- albumartists (only for the second album): Jai Uttal; Ben Leinbach
The result is always the same, with some exceptions.
The first album (Loveland) shows up correctly in my library.
The second one (Music for yoga and other joys) only appears in the library under one artist called Jai Uttal and Ben Leinbach.
Can you please help me?
Thank you.
